Review by Nellie

"OHMYGOSH where do I start. Marthe is probably the smartest and coolest tutor I have ever had. She is so accommodating because I was so stressed out after

already failing this in the Spring. We talked on the phone and met twice for two hours and she broke Orgo down to the Math component of it and then the Chem. She will relate it to the most common basic thing in seconds and it clicks. She also does this big connecting chain-map diagram for naming, reactions and math tricks. Hours in class confused and I got it in FIVE minutes! She came up with great quizzes and by the time we went over the review the day before the exam, I made an A-. EVERYTHING she focused on was on the test in the same way she set her questions. I could not believe it!!! I had failed both tests before and had studied endlessly. I'm already seeking her help for Stats, Calc and Physics this semester."

Review by Daniela R

"I tried my school's tutoring center over the break and saw no improvement in my class so I went through two tutors before finding Marthe. My problem was w

ith their speed and lack of clarity in the teaching but I'm glad to say that I've had none of these issues with her. She is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and clear in her teaching. I'm definitely no math wiz but with Marthe's help I scored a 94% in Calculus I. I have recommended her to my close friends and will use her until graduation and likely for my GMAT as well. She is amazingly good at Math!"

Review by Gabriel Alejandro

"I was Gabriela's Teaching Assistant when she was taking her last Biology Course (Animal Physiology). She is insightful and always found creative ways to m

emorize biological processes, without leaving out the understanding of the mechanisms behind them."

Review by Sara

"Rebecca not only is very knowledgeable on the subject of biology, she loves it. This lets her teach with an unrivaled enthusiasm. If you find something yo

u think is interesting, she will go as far as she can to explain it to you. Having someone who loves her subject teach you is an amazing experience, and it makes it so much easier to care and learn. Rebecca is a dedicated educator, and I have never cared more about a subject than when she was teaching it."

Review by Sinziana

"I am a non-native English speaker who wrote a novel in this language not so long ago. And while I was working my way through re-writing the text, I had th

e incredibly good fortune of being put into contact with Charis who edited my manuscript. I have learned so much from Charis' precise and thoughtful comments, from her explanations that matched my linguistic level so well, and from her method of approaching the text layer after layer, from fine-tuning the narrative to final touches! Now, when I take that step back to re-think and to re-read (sometimes) aloud fragments of my current work, I can still feel what an eye-opening learning experience that was for me. I would be honored and delighted if Charis accepted editing my fiction writings in the future, and were I to live in NYC, I would be so lucky to be in another wonderful learning situation with Charis!"
